Monetary donations are also accepted. Please make checks payable to Holy Cross and put “Power PACKs” in the memo line. Thank you so much for your support.

Coffee and conversation is an informal way to get an introduction to the Episcopal Church generally and Holy Cross specifically. It’s an opportunity to get information about the different ministries happening at Holy Cross and how to become a member here. It’s also an opportunity to ask whatever questions you may have and meet with the clergy in an informal, small group setting.

Whether you are considering becoming a member of our Holy Cross family or you are a recent member who would like more information, we invite you to attend.

Our next Coffee and Conversation is happening:

Sunday, May 12 2019

9:15 am in the Reception Room

Looking to meet new people? Do you have an extra 30 minutes to an hour some Friday mornings?

At Holy Cross, we have a group a volunteers that come in every Friday morning around 9am to help fold church bulletins for each Sunday's service.

The process takes less than 45 minutes. With summer around the corner and vacation planning underway, we invite you to stop by any Friday to join in on the fun. Have some coffee, share your story or listen to others.

No sign up is required. anyone can stop by to help! If you have any questions, please call Jenni, our Parish Secretary at 864-967-7470.
